Lately I am adoring kitchen tins printed with red roses. I picked up two more today during a trip to Tiny Town. This was a long-promised trip to Tiny Town, because the boys, like everyone in their right mind, were wanting to make a 41-mile uphill bike ride in the heat.

They did it this morning, and the girls and I came along in the car. We tanked up on barbecue, then divided and conquered the antique mall where everything costs either $4 or $8. I have my four oldest children trained to alert me to the things they know I will like, which is why I now have two more tins, a copper bread box, some vintage fabric, and two yellow Pyrex bowls.

You're such an accomplished homemaker AND you've got a wonderful sense of humor! I can fully appreciate the importance of training your loved ones to know your tastes in antiques and all things vintage. :)

My husband and two of his friends once rode their bikes from New Orleans to Pensacola for the fun of it. We women enjoyed ourselves paying in the sand and eating delicious seafood while waiting on our valiant crusaders to finish their journey. ;-)

I love the tin with the yellow flowers- a beauty! I, too, love pyrex. I know exactly what I am looking for when I go thrifting. My hubby will declare everything junk or overpriced before I even step in the door! But not I, one man's junk is many times my treasure!

Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.

Photography

Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
